Analysis of: CLASSIC FM
FRONT COVER
Target audience:
The target audience for classical fm would generally be musicians or people interested in the world of classical music because the genre for the
magazine is classical. The age range for the magazine audience would be 21-35. The gender for the target audience would be both male and female.
Contents: Due to the neat layout of the contents page the target audience may appeal a lot more to the older end of the age range (30-35). A few of the images used on the contents page also seem religious based (St Pauls
cathedral) so this may appeal to an audience who follow a religion. As well as music enthusiasts.
Double page spread: The double page spread would generally attract the main target audience of male and female musicians aged 21-35. This is due to the simplicity used on the pages and the bland colours used (black, white
and beige )
